There is plenty of parking at A (G54743 19300), beside a hall / old school. Walked back through the road junction (B (G54756 19190)) and continued along the road opposite till C (G55068 18300), where there are 2 gates. Go through the left one, then another, which has the standard disclaimer sign attached to the wall beside it, and walk up hill through the fields. After stepping over a couple of fences you reach the summit area and after a short walk reach the trig point and burial cairn.
Whilst the Ox Mountains may hold the view, the outlines of other cairns, enclosures etc litter the summit area and are worth seeking out. We returned the way of our ascent Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/975/comment/5948/

Picture: Once proud but know fallen on hard times Trig.
Trig support required!
by eamonoc
16 Oct 2014
Climbed on 15/10/2014. Started at D (G56332 18935), parked on roadside verge beside some old farm bulidings. Following directions of a Sligo Spur Walks, well made route card was able to ascend easily through two fields to the summit plateau and find Trig point beside megalithic tomb. Poor old trig was lying on it`s side having obviously toppled from burial mound. As this is not the first trig I have discovered in this state of despair, maybe the formation of a Trig Support group would be in order! Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/975/comment/17729/

Western Face conqured: July 2000.
by daveespene

We Scaled the Western sheer face in July 2000, directly up to the Trig point area. And descending by sliding most of the way back down, ruined a new pair of jeans in the process, but great fun. Will be going back soon to activate it for(ham radio) Summits On The Air as EI0DB/P. But this time using the easy way in. (dja & pala) Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/975/comment/15904/

paddyhillsbagger on Knocknashee
by paddyhillsbagger

Knocknashee has a pleasing aspect on the small road into Lavagh where I parked at E (G550 185) and followed a fence up the spine of the hill to a flat plateau above. The trig cairn which looks like it has been plonked on a collapsed Megalithic cairn is at the Northern end of the hill so a short walk admiring the fine views of the nearby Ox Mountain range, scaring the resident sheep and enjoying the croaks of a pair of Raven got me there in no time at all. Looking roughly East the bulk of Kesh and it's prominent cairn is clearly visible, pity I missed viewing Knocknashee from there in my cloud covered ascent last month!

"Hill of the Fairies"
by Jamessheerin
5 May 2017
This hill is known locally as "The Hill of the Fairies". So, perhaps its those little folk who are responsible for the Trig toppling? Great views from on top.. well worth the ramble up if passing by. What better way to break a long journey! Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/975/comment/18911/
